Problem with Flashvars in the embed of the widget
I made a flash widget with a preview option for your own photo's in the widget.
This works with FlashVars because the widget received the ID code with FlashVars.
Now I upload this evening the widget to WidgetBox and I added the parameter "userid".
The widget work it right, but we would like the code editen with PHP for the dynamic ID code on the profiles of the users.
My question is, what do I wrong ?
Because normality can you "FlashVars " see in the embed code.
And I have read in the developer FAQ that's possible.
Can you my help with this setting ?
Thank you very much.

Inappropriate?Hey Erwin,
I understood most of your question, except for the last part. Is the PHP page that you're referring to a page where people GET the widget or a page where people USE the widget?
Thanks,
Dave

Inappropriate?Local on my computer and on the internet does it.
But if I the widget upload to WidgetBox and I would like add the flashvars than the error.
Because in the embed is name="flashvars" but it must FlashVars="" are.
So I think that I've set wrong the FlashVars in widgetbox.
See above the screenshot.
Do you have a example of the settings of the FlashVars ? -
Inappropriate?Users should be able to retrieve there own embed code with there userid in it from our website. (so they can use it as a gadget on www.hyves.nl, with there own images)
When I fill in the userid paramter by using the widgetbox website it works allright, but when I try to do it manually by changing the embed code it doesn't work. (It seems to be that the parameters are encoded or something?)
The widget isn't approved jet, would that be the reason it fails?
I hope this explanation makes it a little bit clearer.
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Tomas,
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like you are taking the embed code from Widgetbox for your widget and attempting to pass in a userid in the FlashVars. Unfortunately this will not work as we don't pass through FlashVar parameters sent to our wrapper down to the widget that is loaded. If you would like to allow users to click a button and get embed code for the widget pre-configured with their specific userid you will want to take a look at our Viral Installer product. You can read about it more here: http://docs.widgetbox.com/developers/...
